Series
OVID is home to an eclectic array of TV and film series: from two British sketch-comedy series made in 1967 and 1968 - both precursors to Monty Python, to a quirky Australian series of short animated films on football (soccer!)
Recently we've added the second season of our most popular drama series, MAISON CLOSE. And of course the greatest strength of OVID's collection is documentaries and a recent addition is WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE about the rise of the religious right in American politics. So there's a lot to choose from for those of you inclined to dig-in. (Note the effort to avoid using the word "binge.")
